Java is Fair Game!

Posted on May 26, 2016, 21:51.

A jury found that using the declaring lines of code and their structure, sequence, and organization from Java constitutes fair use. Which is a great outcome of a terrible lawsuit Oracle filed some years ago trying to destroy free java. They started by trying to be a patent troll, but when that failed they tried to pervert copyright law to make it illegal to reimplement APIs. Oracle’s behavior is unethical and greedy. Luckily this jury stopped them for now.
